Bad Days in Haddonfield Ep. 6: Halloween 6 The Curse of Michael Myers
Welcome to another exciting episode of Bad Days in Haddonfield, in which our Binge Buddies Bryan Dressel, Matt “Zombie Dog Chucky” Dykes, and Ryan “Zuzu” Lootens join forces to toil their way through the schizophrenic producer’s cut of Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Meyers. Lot of oddities to be found in this film compared to the previous and it may be the lowest the franchise has descended so far in quality. Don’t worry, though. It’s all uphill from here….maybe.

Bad Days in Haddonfield Ep. 3: Halloween III Season of the Witch (1982)
Hi and welcome to the (somewhat late) next exciting episode of Bad Days in Haddonfield, our look back at the Halloween Franchise over the years. Bryan Dressel, Matt “Zombie Dog Ghostface” Dykes, Ryan “Harry Warden” Lootens, and Joel “Grant Grant” DeWitte sit down to talk about the divisive “Halloween III: Season of the Witch,” which features no Michael Myers and has nothing to do with the movies surrounding it. Bonus: the crew breaks into an impromptu performance of “Silver Shamrock” and it goes about as well as you would expect.
